Tanks with high alphas have higher expected damage, so you still would have to do well to pad wn8. For example, the KV-2 needs 1400 damage to achieve "Super Unicum" wn8 status. The Churchill VII, however, only needs 1225. IMO you can pad in any tank you play well in, my pad tank is the IS-3 for instance.

There are tanks that have lower expected average damage values then others...they are 'easy' to get high wn8s in,however, that doesn't mean its easy.

Consistency is the name of the padding game.

The better players in this game can keep up games like this at longer periods resulting in high wn8 values. The rest try, they look for easy low value dmg value tanks, get a good game here and there and wonder

what was going wrong.

how to improve your wn8?

be proficient in the tanks you drive not just the one that you think will pad better. That proficiency should translate to you being able to maintain great dmg/kill games over longer periods. Achieving this usually means you are a bigger influence(asset) on your teams chance to win.......which usually translates to better win rates:)

Just focus on improving your skills as a player. WN8 is only really paddable once you are in the 3500+ WN8 range (and then it gets extremely paddable).

Innately, high-speed tanks with good gun handling are the most natural WN8 padders because they are the best at snapping up empty damage at the end of the game, and the best at relocating to wherever the damage is.

You can achieve a high WN8 value in the KV-2 but it isn't really predisposed to padding in any way- generally it's harder to reach the upper WN8 threshold in heavy tanks on a consistent basis.

Even though I'm not an amazing player, you should note that WN8 doesn't mean anything if you can't actually play to the skill level it infers. It's like the people that pad their stats with T18's slinging gold in a Tier 2 match, it doesn't mean anything if you can't perform once you get into a higher tier match.

Or you can pad in everytank by putting out consistent and constant damage for 10-13 minutes per match. Get the first shot, don't get return damage and keep it up until the match ends by using good mechanics... and the best thing is if you improve your play you improve your winrate. It become a win win win at that point... and you get to have fun while doing it as opposed to wanting to punch the screen infront of you...
